Criss Cross Jazz 1385 CD

Conrad Herwig - Igor Butman

Reflections

﻿Available: February 26, 2016

On Reflections, a co-led sextet recital comprising two charts
from Russian tenor saxophonist-bandleader Igor Butman and six from
trombonist Conrad Herwig.

For the tenth CD that Herwig has either led or co-led for Criss Cross
since 1997, he recruits trumpeter (and Criss Cross veteran)
Alex Sipiagin to round out the front line, and a killer rhythm section
comprising pianist David Kikoski,
bassist Kenny Davis
and drummer Jeff "Tain" Watts.

Well-known as the leader and guiding intelligence of the
Moscow State Jazz Orchestra,
Butman, in a rare sideman appearance with a combo of New York A-listers,
brings his A-game, improvising with heat and logic that his partners match throughout.
